Well, first off, I FINALLY ROOTED !!!!!!.....samsung fascinate.I500...2.2.2.....edo5.........rooted with SIMPLE ONE CLICK.......... achieved SUPER USER........downloaded ROM MANAGER........however.......when i try to flash ANY rom, i get error msg " FAILED TO VERIFY WHOLE-LIFE SIGNATURE".....". SIGNATURE VERIFICATION FAILED "....
"INSTALLATION ABORTED"
ANY IDEA WHY I GET THIS ?..........thanks.Dennis
Flashing or installing a recovery on a stock kernel gets reset at boot. You need to flash recovery (cwm) in odin with battery out, insert batt and 3 finger into recovery and flash a custom kernel to get recovery to stick.
good day.
???
hi, and thanks for reply........im sorry but im obviously newbie. can you give advice on how exactly i can acheive your suggestion ?.......i dont know what ODIN is or even how to do this
thanks
dennis
What exactly are you trying to flash? Or what rom are you looking to be on?
good day.
well, like i said, im newb, so i tried the ROM MANAGER app.......and it lists only a few ROMs. but any i try i get same error.
btw, i would like to be on Cynogen, or fresh
Don't really recommend Rom Manger...
-Download Odin.
-Download CWM4 fixed for CM7... HERE. (Bottom of JTs post)
-Copy the ROM you wish to use onto your SD card anywhere.
-Open Odin
-Phone off, remove the battery, hold down volume button, plug in USB cord
-Should go into download mode, shown on the screen of your phone, and show show up as connected in Odin.
-Using PDA Button (Never use phone button in ODIN!) flash the CWM4 for Odin file you downloaded. DON'T do anything until it says success, finished done, etc, just don't stop mid flash. Shouldn't take that long, and your phone should turn back off.
-Reinsert the battery, do the three finger recovery (DO NOT let the phone boot back up otherwise you'll need to reflash recovery)
-Choose install ROM from SD card, choose the rom, CM7 or whatever you downloaded, and flash it.
-Now that's going from memory, so it might not be exactly "install rom from sd card", I think it actually says "install .zip from sd card" or something like that but you get the idea.
- I would recommend backing up all your data, and then wiping cache, dalvik, and data before flashing a new ROM.
- If going to CM7, MIUI, OMGB OMFGB, VGB, etc, any 2.3 based rom you'll want to ODIN the GB_Bootloaders too.
Superoneclick has had problems on 2.2.2 ed05. If you odin the stock ed05 package from pentafive, you dont need to flash a modified kernal to get cwm to stick! Also there is no need to root if your installin a rom, it will already be rooted. My suggestion is to start with powerwashed 1.2 rom get familiar with what you are doing before messing around with mtd gingerbread roms.

If you don't have any clue what ODIN is, or what CWM is, or even how to spell Cyanogen correctly, you have no business at all even thinking about being on CyanogenMod 7. Have to learn to crawl before you can walk before you can run. Read the stickies, read the stickies again, read the stickies again, know what you are doing and understand what you are doing before doing anything to your phone, then start simple with a debloated/deodexed stock rom or powerwash ED05.

There's no trick or magic or easy fix for rooting. Its all about experience. Once you've flashed 20 ROM's+...you'll understand!
I know that some of these are 150+ pages long, I KNOW...I've read them all! Trust me when I tell you, each page is money!
You've got an amazing machine, go read some of the ROM postings and learn the lingo, the steps, the problems and fixes. then root your fascinate.
You'll be glad you did.

Root and Rom completed. Special thanks to droidstyle. Powerwash working very smooth.

Hey,
Ive been searching for 6 hours now and i still haven't found the solution to my problem.
My problem:
Today i got my Samsung Galaxy S2, so i wanted to put a custom ROM on it using this guide: http://www.redmondpie.com/install-cm7-on-galaxy-s2-using-rom-manager-how-to-tutorial/.
Firstly i rooter my phone without a problem. After that i followed the guide. This was no problem untill i had to: 'Launch ROM Manager and tap on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery and pick Samsung Galaxy S II from the list of compatible smartphones.' There was an error in recovery mode about verification.
After this i flashed my phone with clockworkMod-Recover to be able to put of verification. When i toggled it off i tried to update my phone to CM7 wich was on my sd card.
When i tried rebooting now it was stuck on loading screen with the well-known yelolow triangle.
I tried everything (including: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108499 -> did everything perfectly). I tried to flash other stuff. But still same problem i wiped it a lot, still nothing.
I can acces download and recovery mode without any problems. i even flashed the phone to the stock kernel (Kernel_I9100XWKI4). so now i dont have a yellow triangle but still stuck at boot screen.
I am desperate and depressed that my expensive phone wont boot up. Can anyone please help me out i'm even willing to pay the one who helps me out.
Thanks in advance!

Tried this a lot, doesnt fix it.
1) Get the right CF Kernel from the Chainfire kernel thread in the Android Original Development Thread. Extract the zip to get a TAR and extract the TAR to get a z-image file. Also download the corresponding original stock kernel from the Intratech thread in the same section.
2) Flash the TAR in PDA using Odin. Do not click repartition. This lets you boot with with functional Root and CWM.
3) If you want to get rid of the yellow triangle, then load the z-image file into /sdcard. Reboot into download mode and use Odin to flash the stock kernel (again in the PDA without repartition). After that, go to the CWM app, choose flash kernel and locate the zimage and proceed.
NB: You can read Chainfire and Intratechs threads in case I was vague somewhere.
Installing CM
1) After all this, put the latest nightly into /sdcard
2) Boot into recovery.
3) Clear Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache (in advanced). Go to install Zip-->Choose Zip from SD card--> Choose the CM7 nightyl file.
4) Flash is twice i.e consecutively. The first time, it just takes like a second to flash, the second time will be the complete install. No idea why this happens or whether its been fixed now.
5) Reboot.
The next time, dont google for this type of Info. The XDA forums has everything you need and a good search engine too.
Let me know if you still have issues.
Cheers.
EDIT: RomManager works best on CM7 only. I suggest that you keep it that way. It does not work with the basic stock rooted CF Kernels as is mentioned on his thread.

I allready get stuck on the first thing, i flashed the CF kernel with Odin and after this he wont boot so i cant procede. This is my problem he just doesnt wanna boot.
I dont want any custom ROM's anymore i just want the default phone back. This is a disaster.
Did you choose the right CF Kernel. It has to be chosen to be inline with the Kernel version that came with your phone. As you've not managed to flash a modded kernel, you will still be on the same kernel that came along with you phone. You cant choose any CF Kernel that you like.
You've mentioned Kernel_I9100XWKI4. Is this the same that came with the phone or did you pick some random kernel?
Another option is to try that android recovery, but Im not familiar with it and its options.
I had the same issue as you when I was playing around with cutom kernels and CWM

Yes that is the original one (I9100XWKI4). I am also not familiar with android recovery.
Ok, if its KI4, then theres a Ki4 for Gingerbread 2.3.4 and another for 2.3.5. You have to choose the right one

I tried both, none worked :s
Then I think its best that you head over to Intratechs thread, a new firmware itself and flash it over. As you say KI4, download XWKI4 2.3.4, both the OXX multi CSC and the stock kernel and reflash your whole firmware as per the instructions in the thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Also make sure that Samsung Kies is not running anywhere. Kill it in processes and do not let it boot in msconfig.

I wan't to thank u so mutch right now. Send me a pm for payment!
None required mate. If you are still interested in rooting, follow the instructions Id mentioned in my first post using the CF KI4 Kernel for 2.3.4 and you should be fine.
As an alternative custom rom to CM7, check out GingerMod, I can vouch for it.

I got CM7 to work thanks again for all the help!
Glad to hear that.
I have used Odin to load Tar File: JFD and Pit file. Or just used Vibrant AIO and Odin through their. Everything loads fine, but when it boots I just get a black screen. I touch the soft keys and they light up. Some say it is a kernel issue, but I just do not know. Any help on this is welcome.
I have tried different versions of Odin, but nothing seems to work.
I wanted to try this, but the link is not working for me. At least I cannot get to MultiUpload for some reason.

Thanks. Their is another post on XDA, but it only on MultiUpload. Is Multiupload down? All I get is a white screen.
If anyone could mirror when they have a chance that would be great!
Multi went down shortly after Mega went down.
Go here and download it. Or here if you don't want to stray away from XDA.
Thanks my friend! I was able to get into a ROM! However I discovered that I did not need it. I will use the ROM for emergencies in case I do. I found out that I pushed the wrong Update.zip file. I installed the root_update.zip and not cwm_update.zip. I do not think the root Update works well with Eugene's ROM anyway. Once I did that I was able to get ICS back up.
However I still have the Froyo Bootloader, and would like to update to Gingerbread. I tried flashing the GB bootloader, but it errored out looking for the PIT file and had to re-flash to stock. I will try again later, but just happy to get the phone working.
With a JIG this phone I would say, like most of you agree with, is very difficult to truly brick!
Thanks again all.
I'm not new to installing custom ROMs, I've been doing it for several years to many phones and to my Galaxy Tab P7510.
But, I'm in a spot that I haven't been able to recover, I'm hoping you can help.
Facts: Running TWRP and Infamous AOKP ROM.
Here's what happened. Last night I was using my Tab and it went black. I mean it just shut down. Turned off. So, I just power it on. It starts the boot process and I can see the boot animation for Infamous ROM. There's a spinning circle of dots during boot so I know it's booting. After about a minute or so the circle stops spinning. Not good. It's frozen. I let it sit for at least a half hour thinking I'm being patient. No go. Try several more times, same result.
Ok, time to go into TWRP and reflash the ROM. I hold the power and volume down. When the screen pops up (is this the boot loader?) I choose recovery, not download mode. I see the Infamous Logo for TWRP (Infamous has it's own branded version of TWRP) and get ready to flash. But, wait! It freezes too. It never gets into recovery. Just sits there. I try again. Same thing. I let it sit for a while and eventually it just reboots the Tab.
Ok, I figure that something in recovery or the OS has been fried. I need to do an Odin to get TWRP or CWM flashed. I boot the Tab into Download mode. I connect the TAB to my PC. The PC chirps letting me know it's connected. (I have the Samsung drivers already installed). I download CWM tar file. I then download the latest Odin, v4.44.
Now, here's where I'm stuck. Odin doesn't see a Tab connected. The Tab sits in "Downloading..." mode. I've reinstalled the Samsung drivers just to be safe. Same result.
What can I do next to fix this?
More info: I can see the "Samsung Device" toast message appear when connected. I also see "Samsung Android Device" in Device Manager. I also see "Connected! Press the [Start] button on Odin3" on the Tab's screen. This leads me to believe that the device is properly connected to the PC. So, why doesn't Odin see it?
Update:
While I couldn't get ODIN 4.xx to work, I downloaded Odin 3.07 and was able to put CyanogenMod on the Tab. I was able to successfully install Infamous 1.9.1 from within CyanogenMod. But, when I tried to clear Dalvik the Tab just hung. Reboot into recovery. I try to clear cache and the Tab hangs. I reinstall Infamous and reboot. In the middle of the reboot while the boot animation is showing it hangs. Time after time it hangs.
I think there's something seriously wrong with the hardware and I'll never be able to get this thing revived. Maybe it's time to go tablet shopping... Sigh, sad times, the Tab was like a good friend.

You could always try to go a bit further back in software and use a stock rom, as well as repartition using .pit file as trying to pile custom rom on custom rom with all the kernel and boot image variations is eventually asking for trouble. Lots of people have lots of differing results with this tab which can be "random" to say the very least but at least with Odin and repartition you can be fairly certain that everything has been set back to zero. My best results on this tab have always been with Odin 1.3 tho others will say otherwise. Remember seeing you posting a lot a couple of years back I think...

@TabGuy Yep...yep...our Sammy devices are tough to break fully,but they have gremlins... I had a similar problem. My tab wouldn't boot( hang at boot screen ).. So I tried to reflash ROM.. Here's where its different ( but the same, I think ).. I could wipe cache and dalvik but not data.. So I dirty flashed and it hung up ( no surprise ). I switched rec..( same deal ). I wasn't near a computer so I thought I was done.. I didn't have anything on the tab I couldn't replace...so I said to hell with it and wiped cache and dalvik again flashed ROM and then I formatted the sdcard with twrp and it booted right up... Long story short.. I had something on the sdcard that was corrupting it.. I think.. Maybe you do too..?

Ok, I think we're getting somewhere. However, formatting data or SD card just hung. I just went down the list and formatted everything. It seemed to work. Everything is clear and not the other formats work just fine. CWM works fine all around.
That's the good news. The bad news is that I now have a Tab with a recovery that works fine but no Android OS and no zip file on the SD card to install. How do I get a file onto the Tab to flash? I know that TWRP let's me flash from an external card (at least I've done this on a phone) but I have CWM on the phone and not TWRP. How do I access a zip file to flash?

OK.. So you formatted the system..if you didn't. Your ROM is still there.. If you did, than grab a ROM in ( .tar ) format to flash with Odin.. You could grab the stock 4.0.4 firmware from Sammobile or search around for one. Make sure the ROM has a kernel with it or is compatible with the kernel you have now.. I've never grabbed one from Sammobile but I would imagine that the kernel file is in the download with the stock firmware file.. Or flash a different kernel then the ROM that matches up.. Just remember Odin needs a tar file..

Thanks for being so helpful. I've watched both videos. I think I know how to do this. I just can't find the tar file. The big DOWNLOAD button described in the video no longer exists. It points me to the SamMobile site instead.
I go to SamMobile (I've registered) and I put in my tablet information and about 5 screens later I get to a download page. But, in the end I get to download a ZIP file, not a TAR file. I'm about ready to throw in the towel. At least for tonight. I'm so close I can taste it, I just wish it wasn't so hard to find the tar file.

I gotta thank you again. I just couldn't go to bed yet. I think I'm on to something. I downloaded that ZIP file anyway from SamMobile. Took 30 minutes for only a 400 meg file. Turns out the TAR file's inside the zip file, which I was hoping. I'm flashing it now.

I gotta thank you again. I just couldn't go to bed yet. I think I'm on to something. I downloaded that ZIP file anyway from SamMobile. Took 30 minutes for only a 400 meg file. Turns out the TAR file's inside the zip file, which I was hoping. I'm flashing it now.
Edit: It booted into Original TouchWiz. Woohoo. The Samsung logo felt like an old friend.
Again, thanks for your help! I'm indebted to you and hopefully I can pay it forward.

Ya ****..man its late..you have to unzip it..I'm going to bed..lol. Glad to hear you're back..
TabGuy said:
Thanks for being so helpful. I've watched both videos. I think I know how to do this. I just can't find the tar file. The big DOWNLOAD button described in the video no longer exists. It points me to the SamMobile site instead.
I go to SamMobile (I've registered) and I put in my tablet information and about 5 screens later I get to a download page. But, in the end I get to download a ZIP file, not a TAR file. I'm about ready to throw in the towel. At least for tonight. I'm so close I can taste it, I just wish it wasn't so hard to find the tar file.

Files from SamMobile are hosted on a download site in zip format, download it and unzip with winrar, 7zip, whatever.
tar.md5 file that you get goes in PDA in Odin, .pit file goes in PIT, leave the default options in Odin checked and make sure to check partition as well if you are using .pit file (in your case you should do this as it really will be spring clean).
Kernel is, of course, contained within the tar.md5 rom file.
Edit - I'm working nights and have just clocked off.... Put in this post above then noticed that xda premium hadn't updated and you had subsequently posted that you had succeeded....
Good for you! Long life to your 10.1

Unzip the zip file. The tar file is inside.
Edit: oh wait nvm. Didn't notice there was another page. Silly me.

First let me thank everyone for the help. My Tab is back on Ice Cream Sandwich and TouchWiz
Now, the search continues. I looked at all the sticky posts about how to root and flash CWM. I've watched all the videos to refresh my memory on how to do it. I'm ready to go BUT all of the links to the downloads need are broken. They've decayed due to neglect. I imagine that the OPs have gone on to other tablets.
So, where do I go to get the files necessary to root and flash a new recovery? This time I'll make sure I save them on my PC for sure!
Thanks in advance for your help.

Twrp recovery... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1833136 .. Use the dd method..Bam you have a recovery..But make sure you have the ROM you want to flash already on the tab/w all the files you need( gapps ).. This way if something goes side ways after booting to recovery you have a ROM/gapps to get back...Always have a backup plan... I try to..and it helps. ............Scratch this... I'm an idiot...forgot you're not rooted..

Yeah, getting rooted is where I'm stuck. I could only find CWM v4.0.0.4. Then I found a Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.ZIP file and installed it. But, alas, I have no root. At least I can't get root access in File Manager HD. I do have a SuperUser app installed which normally means root but I can't install a rom either.
I'm just stuck now. I guess this what happens when support for a product decays. It's very hard to find the right files anymore. I wish I'd have saved them when I did this the first time.
If anyone has access to the proper CWM and Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip file for the P7510 (wifi) I'd be very happy if I could borrow them
If I can't get them then I guess I'm going tablet shopping for a new tablet. I can't live on ICS and TouchWiz.

I know this all sounds easy. And it was the first time I did this. However, the links in all the tutorials are broken. I can't get the right files to get rooted. Once I'm rooted I'll be on my way. I just can't get there. I know it sounds insanely simple but it's not.
Hi I tried to root my phone using this method ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1504218 ) and it left my phone stuck on the reboot. I then tried to flash the stock kernel via odin, and when that didn't work I flashed cwm via odin and then a rogers kernel through cwm and it is still stuck on the rogers logo.......?
could someone help me......?

I see your post count and realize you cannot post in the development section yet. that should not however stop you from reading. maybe you have but you may not have read the whole thread. i know that may seem like a daunting task, it is for me. so what I o is go to the most recent post or last page and start reading backwards. that way I get the most up to date information even on an older thread as you are referring to.
if you did that you would have seen a post from AGOATTAMER.
http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-i717-roms/how-to-root-att-galaxy-note-sgh-i717-icsgingerbreadeasiest-method/
this is also the method I used. believe me, if I can pull it off, anybody can.
more tips..............
make sure you have all the files you need
rehearse the process
I know it sounds crazy, but these phones aint cheap and if you mess it up, can be pretty screwed.
so what is more valuable???? your phone or acting crazy and talking to yourself for a few minutes.
if you can still get download mode, your good, no brick
good luck
You flashed an older incompatible kernel with a newer ROM, but I guess you know that now. Flash the stock ROM found here using odin.

Go into recovery after install and do a factory reset. Then start over. Many have used the link that captemo has mentioned. There are newer versions of recovery than the one listed on that site but it will get you rooted. Look at this thread also. Since you are installing the stock ROM via odin you will not have to deal with the script mentioned here.

Just flash twrp with Odin, don't reboot into android, not directly into recovery after the flash finishes...
In recovery wipe data/factory reset.
When you go to boot it'll see you're not rooted and ask if you want to.
The easiest method to root.
